The Spit16
« on: January 14, 2007, 11:01:10 AM »
for sum reason, everytime i go head on with a spit16 with my 109G14 (favorite plane) it always get my engine and hub cannon, the 30mm. Any suggestion to where to fire that 30mm at the spit?

   When i try not to do a ho, the spit manuverbility just pull down and shot my pilot (even worse) :cry :(

My advice: don't attack Spits head on. They have extremely powerful deflector shields protecting the aircraft during a merge that are all but impervious to weapons fire, especially around the engine. This shield also appears to greatly reduce the durability of your own aircraft, as a single ping of .50 cal off a Spixteen is sufficient to knock out any other aircraft's engine in the merge.

And no, I'm NOT being sarcastic. I've unloaded a good 100+ rounds of MaDeuce right into the engine of a Spixteen during a front-quarter pass (kind of hard not to, because those things can generate HOs at will) and watched him fly away without even smoking. Whereas I've taken one hit during the exchange and find myself gliding.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

So I guess you have many films of this?  Are willing to back up this post with the those many films?

You do know of the 2x  20 mm cannon also found on said spit XVI?

If you see a Spitfire XVI, get right behind a freindly P-51D, and CUT YOUR SPEED! The Spixteen will go for the Pony, and will fly straight and level past you, not maneuvering at all and ignoring you, right into your sights, and squeeze the trigger. This has happened to me 4 times. For some reason they always ignore me and go after the guy in front of me... Weird, but im not complaining :aok
